I think beside of daily diet and practice, our body structure also plays a vital role into exercising to flexibility. I might be wrong but i personally felt that certain pose is beyond practicing to reach due to individual body frame.

I attended Judy Krupp’s workshop in July and actually found out that it is not very good if you are too flexible. Some of the teachers who attended the workshop with me were very flexible but they were having back problems as they had not been going into the poses correctly. When you are too flexible, you need to ensure that you tighten your abductor muscles when you go down on the pose especially for the wide-angle seated forward bend pose. I see some practitioners who will just plunked themselves down and their buttocks will be up in the air. For this pose, you need to make sure that your sitting bones are on the floor like Judy says ” as if your buttocks are hooked to the floor” and your knee caps and feet are pointed straight up to the ceiling. I can never go down fully in this pose as I have tight hamstrings but I know that I am doing the pose correctly as long as my sitting bones are on the floor and with each exhalation I can go down a bit further.

It could be because coffee actually hinders the flushing out of toxins from the body,hence it reduces flexibility,whereas barleygrass,chorella and spirulina helps to eliminate toxins from the body thereby improving flexibility.maybe kenko plums would help in improving flexibility as well since it has laxative effect?haha!!oh cant be since its laxative effect only flushes out water and not toxins nor fat.

I love yoga as much as I love coffee! I tried to check around for the basis why coffee makes our body stiff but cld not find anything. I strongly believe it cld be due to the psychological effect – if you think you need coffee to start the day – then you are dependent on coffee to give you the push. This hinders your mind (hence, body) to become more flexible during yoga practices, since you think u can’t do it yourself.

my daily consumption would be a simple breakfast with lots of veggie,
Lunch of mix rice , with at least 3/4 of 4 to 5 veggie mix and 1/4 of white rice + chinese Tea(bad , i know)
dinner with 5type grain, and some meats.
